Pawel Moll April 30, 2014, 2:05 p.m. UTC
In "Device Tree powered" systems, platform devices are usually
massively populated with of_platform_populate() call, executed
at some level of initcalls, either by generic architecture
or by platform-specific code.

There are situations though where certain devices must be
created (and bound with drivers) before all the others.
This presents a challenge, as devices created explicitly
would be created again by of_platform_populate().

This patch tries to solve that issue in a generic way,
adding a "populated" flag for a DT node description.
Once set, this device will never be created again via
of_* API, so of_platform_populate() will skip such nodes
(and its children) in a similar way to the non-available
ones.

Changes since v1:

- added of_node_check_and_set_flag()... (atomic test and set)
- ... used it to atomically mark a node...
- ... clearing the bit on error path.

One pondering and one minor change below, otherwise:

I wonder if leaving it set would be the right behavior. I can't see
that we would want to process the node again. But this is the
exceptional case, so its probably not too important and can stay like
this.

Please keep the well known naming convention of the called function:
of_node_test_and_set_flag

That doesn't work in the case where drivers use of_platform_populate().
MFD devices in particular make use of it. If the driver does not get
cleared on removal of the devices, then all MFD users will be broken on
driver unbind/rebind. *

We really need to have the inverse of of_platform_populate which will
remove all child and child's child devices and clear all flags and such.
Right now moany drivers are open-coding the removal.

* most drivers are somewhat broken on unbind/rebind anyway, but I don't
  want to make it impossible for a driver to get it right.

The function shouldn't be too difficult. I would expect it to look
something like this. You'll need to check the details.

static int __of_platform_unpopulate_device(struct device *dev, void *c)
{
    if (!dev->of_node || !of_node_get_flag(dev->of_node, OF_POPULATED)
        return 0;

    // recursively remove the children too --- I'd like to find a way
to do this non-recursively
    device_for_each_child(dev, NULL, __of_platform_unpopulate_device);

    // Need to check if the device should be explicitly unbound from
it's driver before removing it. However, I think the driver core takes
care of this for us.

    // Remove based on the bus type
    switch (dev->bus) {
        case &platform_bus_type:
            platform_device_remove(to_platform_device(dev));
            break;
        case &amba_bus_type:
            amba_device_remove(to_platform_device(dev));
            break;
    }

    // Should check here if there are any other children to the
device. It is probably bad to remove a device that still has children.
Need to check what the driver core will do.
}

void of_platform_unpopulate(struct device *parent)
{
    device_for_each_child(parent, NULL, __of_platform_unpopulate_device);
}
